Dang sraight! I'm with Paxx- to hell with the law, to hell with copyrights. As long as a company has a "bad" or "superior" ATTITUDE, I say screw 'em! Whoops - there goes the conscience. Ah, what the hell - it just got in the way of my self justification anyway...

Well, gosh guys, you've convinced me - I was wrong. Golly - what should I do next? I know. I think I'll crank out about a hundred copies of Photoshop and pass them out to anyone that wants them. I mean heck - it won't do any harm right? After all - "With theft there has to be some loss involved. i.e. I steal something, someone else goes without that item." Nobody goes without. As a matter of fact, I'll be a regular saint. I buy a hundred blank CDs, pass 'em around - hell, I'm a regu

"You can't compare a paid service like the OD network with a free one, like AIM." Sure I can - I just did. And as TGR pointed out, it's not really "free" in the way that you seem to think. If it's an ad supported service, whether it's AOL, ICQ, or any other service for that matter, circumventing the ads is theft - plain and simple. All those cracks that seem some how condoned for ICQ are just t

I don't see the problem with AOL protecting itself. And I don't see the problem with the author stating his opinion. As a matter of fact, I don't have a problem with the author "reversing" his opinion. I reverse mine all the time. All you have to do is convince me that my current opinion is wrong... If someone came up with a way to circumvent using the OD network, or the ability to use WB skins witho

Such is the nature of nature. During the summer here, I have leopard frogs - both green and tan varieties, out the beezer. Want I should box you up dozen and Fed-EX 'em to you this spring?

You should represent me. As a matter of fact, EVERYONE should represent me. Of course, I don't have a site at the moment, but with all the winnings that all the skinners will be passing on to me, I'll be able to afford to create a site for you all to represent. As a matter of fact, just send me all of your money NOW, and I'll have a site up before the contest is over. Well, maybe - But I do promise to cash all of your checks... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/im

Truthfully, I find this quite a bit of fun. I'm really looking forward to the results. I only hope that the different sites don't get all bent about themselves fighting over which skinners are going to represent which site. I've already noticed a bit of scrambling for the more well known WB skinners... (I'd find it quite fulfilling to see some "dark horses" come out on top.) <i

Well, if you happen to be passing through Three Hills on your way to Edmonton, swing by Red Dear river valley there and take a few pics for me. I miss the view...

It died a slow, painful death by blood sucking leaches using the name of E-Front. After sucking it dry of all it's vital fluids, it was cast aside, an empty husk of it's former self.

I don't see any flammable material here. Donna, to put it in a nutshell, this isn't a new subject. I'm just sorry you didn't see the previous threads - they would have explained things much better than I or Doreen could. But if it makes you feel any better, you aren't the only one that felt somewhat confused over the course of events that have evolved from what was originally intended, or at least

"Their Paxx equivalent would have a sinister looking mustache." I hope "our" Paxx doesn't have a mustache in real life - he might take offence...

Good grief. As grandma used to say, I need to "move to town and take the paper". I peak in on the front page to see how skinners and other app designers are reacting to Brad's article on XP skinning. (Not that I care for XP - I'm happy with Win2k. But I always like to hear what's going on in the OS world.) I expect to see some good, healthy debate, maybe some innovative ideas, and probably

I take that back. Russ is a nice guy and says things in a very diplomatic way. I don't. So to cut to the chase, I can sum it it in more frank terms: People in Hell want icewater, and they ain't getting it either.
